Thats awsome Pearl always love to see another "sucked in" ! Reminds me of when I built my first under the watchful eye of my mentor  :) Its a great sport building your own bows and archery tackle the more people we get involved the better, and the more people we will have to share our common interest in what we all love but they should always be warned of the addictions they are dabbling in ;D.

I dont often get jealous of staves or the subsequent blanks that come from them. I drooled in envy ALL afternoon over this stave/blank. I wanted to take it back and toss him another piece of anything else. I still have a narrow split left from this 1/4 log.

Quote... "Anybody ever see hackberry with sapwood that thick"

It took a few seconds for me to figureout that is was hackberry. Those limbs will be almost all sapwood?

Very cool Chris!!

Its thick enough that some will still be left near the fades and lowers, the handle is almost all heartwood. I have never seen such a gorgeous piece of hackberry. Its usually quite bland. He told me yesterday he has the grip shaped and is narrowing the tips today. He should be ready for final tiller this weekend!
